Our heroes, Indiana Jones and lovely companion Shortround, find themselves stuck in a foreign land where the sacred statue of the village goddess has been stolen by High Priestess Pincha Nippol and her creepy cohort Mola Ram. The villagers refuse to work, eat or even dress in solidarity with their disgraced goddess. Even more scandalous itís rumored that Pincha Nippol has been stealing villagers in the night and forcing them to bump, grind and shimmy to power her evil rituals! Can Indiana Jones recover the statue and save the villagers? Will Pincha Nippol force Indiana to drink the poison of Boobie-Ma? Will Shortround strip? Only the Geek Girls of Gorilla Tango Burlesque will reveal all!

Over the past two years, Gorilla Tango Burlesque has gone from the debut of the surprise hit "Boobs & Goombas: A Super Mario Burlesque" in October 2010 to a local burlesque/comedy powerhouse with literally thousands of audience members through the door to see unique burlesque parodies of everything from Star Wars to Indiana Jones, from superheroes to 1990s pop-culture phenomena -- and that's just a small selection of what they have available for-- as their slogan states-- "the Discerning Nerd." GTB's smash Halloween hit, "Boobs of the Dead: A Walking Dead Burlesque" brought sexy to local zombies this past October, and look for THE EMPIRE BRINGS SEXY BACK: A STAR WARS BURLESQUE SEQUEL opening November 3rd.
